Corn Relish

This was originally posted. in July of last year. It is well worth a re-post. This is what I made yesterday. The corn I got from David this morning was picked while I watched. I'm a good watcher. It was really to beautiful to be used in a humble relish. But there is plenty more for frying and corn on the cob.

There is nothing like having a pretty dish of Corn Relish on your Thanksgiving Day table. This recipe calls for cabbage, but if your want to make it without cabbage, substitute 1 cup chopped celery for cabbage. Add 1 clove garlic, minced. Follow recipe. I make it both ways. This batch I used cabbage since we were overrun with them this year.

This is not nearly as hard to make as it looks.
